Sustainability assessment of startups

Dimensions

This framework works with criteria and indicators for assessing the sustainability of startups. It enables start-ups, investors and capital providers, startup supporters and assessment institutions with a qualitative and practice-oriented approach to assess the potential and actual sustainability results of start-ups.

There are two major stages in the process:

  1. Assessment of the business context

  2. Assessment of the individual sustainability metrics

    • Clarify the goal/ambition of the assessment
    • Plan/prepare the assessment
    • Collect information
    • Perform the assessment
    • Derive findings and critically assess them
    • Define and implement follow-up measures

The tool presents detailed criteria into two distinct phases of pre-screening and due diligence
